And, as if making an embarrassment worse, she also said he was a Marine Corps veteran... which was Braley's father, not the candidate.

Whoops.

[Keystone Phil]

As long as she didn't mispronounce it by calling him, "Senator." Now that would be embarrassing!

[DrScholl]

It's more disturbing that Ernst was stealing from a county to give her father money. Who does that? Oops, a Republican, that's who.

[Flake]

These are the worst replies I've seen for a senate thread

What else would one expect from Moochelle?

Really?

are you calling our first lady a cow

I've always been curious whether they're calling her a cow or a mooch with that phrase...

[Vega]

I honestly couldn't care less. You'd think that Michelle would be more prepared though.

You make your racism a little less obvious...

Are you saying that cows can only be white? That black cows can't produce milk? Are you a racist? Do you follow the seat belt laws? Why did you abort Krazen's love child? Answer the questions KCDem-or should I say KKK DemoRAT!

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

It's worth noting that her husband also pronounced Lois Frankel as Louis Frankel. Made me chuckle.

Hmm, one of the most blatantly racist posts I've seen on here in a while.

Take a god damn walk out of here with posts like that. The hell's the matter with you?

Dafuq.

[JRP1994]

A bit of context -- "Moochelle" is what Rush Limbaugh calls our First Lady.

ITT: people are shocked that a poster named Dixiecrat of all things makes a racist remark.

Yeah, that was going to be my response.

[Joe Republic]

As your "friendly" neighborhood moderator, can somebody kindly explain the racism in calling her a cow?  Misogynistic sure, but racist?

[DrScholl]

I've seen racist types online use it a lot and it's one of their favorite phrases.

While true, that makes as much sense as saying "God bless our troops" is racist because racists online say it.

"God bless the troops" is a general statement that isn't an insult, so that's quite different. Racists tend to have their own terms and vocabulary for certain people and things.

I'm pretty sure it's calling the First Lady a Moocher, unlike other First Ladies who took a part time job and paid their own way through their husband's Presidency.

So any insult a racist uses is inherently racist? Are you aiming to break a "Most consecutive idiotic posts" record this weekend?

There's no need to call names. I didn't say any insult (and you ought to know insults, since you just insulted me), I'm talking about specific insults and I've seen that insult used on social media by several people who also post monkey pictures to refer to Obama, as well as other racist things.
